But, but, but ... My college professor was a dyed in the wool Marxist. She taught that The Communist Party is the people.

People suffering at the hand of the party is just an illusion for anything that benefits the party, by definition, benefits the people ... even suffering.

She would look at suffering of the Venezuelan people and blame microaggressions by United States and frame the United States is the true source of suffering in Venezuela.

and, and, and,

I accidentally stopped listening to her and forgot the rest of the lesson.

People keep saying they want Marxism. They want to believe that the party is the people and with this definition in hand the party can do no wrong.
